And f*** George Lucas forever for ruining it with that stupid "NOOOOOO" addition in the last round of edits. I'm still stuck with my 2006 DVDs because that's the last time an unedited version of the movie came out that doesn't have bulls*** spattered all over the best parts.

It sucks because when I went to show my daughter the OT for the first time all I had were his special editions he made in the 90s on DVD. So not only did we get the shittier ending to RotJ we get that terrible & cringey music video at Jabba's. I actually had to say I was sorry she had to see that, and that it used to be better lol.

Those are actually two changes I'm kind of neutral on.

Like yeah, the new Jabba's palace sequence is kind of crap, but the old one really wasn't much better and it's a spot where the old puppets they used really show their age.

I think both of the endings had their charm. Yub Nub was kind of a nice, folksy ending to the whole thing (although it is *very* 80s), whereas the '97 one is a bit more galactic in scale. The only version of that I hate is the post-prequel version where Lucas decided to slap a gungan screaming "WEESA FREE!!" over it, just to wreck the mood, then replace Sebastian Shaw with Hayden fucking Christiensen leering at an Ewok.
